Coordination serves to emphasize a close relationship equally important. If the ideas are not equally important, the less important one(s) can usually be subordinated. 2. In most cases coordination is achieved with the help of coordinators. Here is a list of common coordinators: and, or, but, nor, so, yet, both…and, either…or, not…but, neither…nor, as well as, as much as, rather than, more than Review: Combination, Contraction and Subordination

范文 My Dream Everyone has a lot of dreams. Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight. Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame. I have a lot of dreams, too. When I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogen in future. However, I knew very well that I could not succeed without painstaking efforts. So I studied hard in the middle school and college in order to attain my goal. After graduating from college, I found a job as a teacher. Although I was very busy with teaching, I never gave up my goal. I read a lot of books to get more knowledge. I made experiments to practice and apply what I had learnt from the books. Sometimes, I was so deeply indulged in my research that I forgot my meals and time. Now I have made great progress. Several of my research papers have been published. The methods proposed in my papers have been proven to be valuable for the solution of some problems. I am very happy. The ladder of becoming a scientist is still far ahead, but I have climbed the first rung anyway.
